A minute of silence will be observed to remember the victims of wars and of the coronavirus pandemic.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis will attend an ecumenical prayer service and an interreligious ceremony for peace in Rome next week, the Vatican announced Friday.
The prayer service will be held at the Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli in the afternoon on Tuesday, Oct. 20, and will include participants from other Christian traditions.
Following the prayer, Pope Francis will also join in a ceremony with representatives of the world’s major religions, to take place in Campidoglio Square.
The square, which sits on Rome’s Capitoline Hill, was designed by Michelangelo. The square’s surrounding buildings house a city museum and Rome’s town hall. The Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli is also on the Capitoline Hill.
The interreligious ceremony will follow the prayer service. It will include speeches, the proclamation and delivery of the 2020 Appeal for Peace, the lighting of a peace candle, and a socially distanced sign of peace.
A minute of silence will be observed to remember the victims of wars and of the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition to Pope Francis, other participants will include Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople; Haim Korsia, Chief Rabbi of France; Mohamed Abdelsalam Abdellatif, the Muslim General Secretary of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity; and Buddhist Shoten Minegishi.

The pluralism and the diversity of religions, colour, sex, race and language are willed by God in His wisdom, through which He created human beings.
A DOCUMENT ON HUMAN FRATERNITY
It all started with JP II's Assisi love fests.
I can’t believe I just read that.
This Pope may be the False Prophet who was prophesied to emerge in the End Times.
Oh yes, he is a social-communist. Worships “the earth” over “Christ Jesus”.
Try selling THAT to the Muslims Pope Francis.....
